    Last year we took the Shelby all the way down to Tennessee for the GT350 Mountain Run! This event featured over 100 various Shelby Mustang models, the majority were GT350 and GT350Rs, but there were also a few newer GT500, previous GT500s and even a Boss 302. Amazing roads included the Cherohala Skyway, the Tail of the Dragon, Foothills Parkway and the Devil's Triangle. The roads were fantastic, the cars and owners were cool, the scenery was beautiful and this trip just made me love my GT350R even more! I definitely need to make another trip down to the mountains with another car, it was such a great experience.

    I’ve been there too and it was fun. I drove a 2012 Porsche Boxster base with a manual. I think the perfect ride there would be a Miata. The light nimble nature of a Miata would be fantastic for those curves! The GT350 sounded great and you had loads of fun so nice to see this video. Great work!
